Reply To: Do you think there’s a correlation between gut health and Parkinson’s disease?

The more I read the more I am convinced that with many of the people living (?) with PD have had problems, or will have as the disease progresses ! I was diagnosed in 2010 and my gut problems started about 6 years later after being treated for H Pylori.
Many of the food choices in my regular diet now seemed to cause nausea and severe bloating,generally within 1/2 hr after eating and mostly my noon and evening meals. I lived with this problem for several years making changes in food choices which helped but stil troubled with nausea,some bloating and acid reflux.

With the help of a nutritionist,and fine tuning of food choices/ no spices, pickles,tart fruit(lemons,etc.)as well as no food that is difficult to break down either by chewing or later in the stomach. Most of the food choices after being cooked go though a blender before being served.
There has to be considerable fine turning in the choice of vegetables and fruit as well as what liquids would not be on the menu any more.
The final and extremely important part of my cure was and is my extremely patient and understanding caregiver, my wife of 63 years !
